Yeah, I sent an email to the staff. I asked if they would tweek the site to allow us to edit our comments at any time we desire. I hope they can make it happen.
Even if subsequently edited in your original post, or even if admin removes a post for some perceived violation, your comments still continue unedited in subsequent quote replies that were submitted between the original and your new, edited or disappeared version.
My impression from admin is they feel you have unlimited time to edit fully to your hearts content right up to the moment you press send.
Kinda like real life with real people. If shit comes out of your mouth while others are listening, there is a mess for cleanup on your aisle.
For an adult only site, there are a surprising number of such instances of rhetorical incontinence. Many spontaneous exclamations surprise poster and reader alike! And are quickly resolved once one or both have cooled off, such as this here. Leaving these on the site provides an intrepid fellow poster a workable blueprint for resolution.
So, thanks, guys.
Some others are clearly intentionally strategic rather than accidental or incidental, yet still provide a teaching point, revealing tactics that typically doom conciliatory resolution due to, say, . . . characterologic inadequacies? Yet still constitute a teaching point in negative relief.
Some are just mean spirited or stupid. It has to be said. Those with 'superior' talents can afford to be generous and avert the eyes and move on, or choose not to. Some on OPP appear to enjoy pulling the wings off butterflies.
Or, perhaps, at times, anger can be justly purifying?
Then there are the pathologically narcissistic posters who use numerous other secret avatars as their flying monkey wingman to "boost their signal" by providing a false sense of consensus or popularity. And disenfranchised former members returning with new accounts.... And others with more mysterious motivations for posting from numerous accounts with different avatars.
It's a wild ride! Buckle up and keep your hands and feet inside your own compartment, we should all make it through this little jaunt!
